Lots of history on this, if you look in the archives.

Net, some CD players do better than others, but none seem to be very loud. There is a Garmin service bulletin that can make a change and improvement (at your cost) with advice that it may bring in other unwanted noise.

By the way, I just had the Garmin mod done on my plane (I think it was around $120 in labor), and it makes an absolutely DRAMATIC difference. Now, I have to be careful not to turn the CD player up too loud…

Brand,

I’m curious - Garmin warns that the mod may cause an increase in unwanted (background) noise. Have you noticed any?

Mike,  
I had the Garmin Mod done about a month ago. I now can use a casette deck or CD player with ease. The only change I noticed is an electrical noise that is clearly audible when the engine is at low power (e.g. on the ground or in the pattern). It is rhythmic and clicking. I can’t figure out where it comes from but if I push the “pilot” isolation button on the G340 the sound disappears.  
I haven’t yet tried pulling individual circuit breakers to isolate the source.
